Palette Knife Plein Air Workshop

 

Palette Knife Plein Air Workshop

Florence Thomas Art School

http://www.florenceartschool.org

June 17-19, 9-4 pm, West Jefferson, NC, $300

White Water Linville, 10×10-SOLD

Come join us for three days of palette knife painting the beautiful scenery around West Jefferson with a palette knife.  Your paintings will be looser, bolder and simpler — full of texture.  We’ll talk about composition, values and color — and of course using the knife.  We’ll start with a demo, then lots of hands-on attention while you paint.  In case of rain, bring some of your favorite landscape photos.

If you’ve never done a workshop at Florence Thomas Art School you are in for a treat!  If you don’t sign up for my workshop, please peruse the other ones.  There is a wide variety!  The school is incredibly well-run.  West Jefferson is beautiful, friendly and very supportive of the arts. 

You’ll find a supply list and other information on the Florence Art School website.  http://www.florenceartschool.org

Feel free to email me (robinwellner@yahoo.com) or call or email Florence Art School if you have any questions!  Hope to see you in the mountains!!!

Small Works Show

Clouds Gathering over Grandfather

“Clouds Gathering over Grandfather”, 12×12, Oil/Panel

This scene was painted in one of my favorite places to paint in the Blowing Rock area.  Up Shoals Mills Road you can pull off and get the most spectacular views of Grandfather Mountain. This particular day, we were dodging thunderstorms all day.  I was lucky to get a span of time to paint!!

Hope you can join me Saturday, August 11th from 5-8 pm for “Small Works”, a group exhibition of works smaller than 14×18″ at Blowing Rock Frameworks and Gallery.  The show will run from August 6 through the 20th.
